NAME

       netPanzer - an online multiplayer tactical warfare game


SYNTAX

       netpanzer [options]


DESCRIPTION

       This program is a free (GPL) isometric view real-time tactical game
       designed for play across the Internet and over LAN systems. One on one
       games are  possible via direct connect or modem.

       netPanzer is designed for FAST ACTION combat -- it is not another
       resource management clone. In fact, there aren't any resources at all.
       Each player will have many units of different types at their disposal.
       Players can fight until their units are destroyed -- then respawn and
       keep on going.

       The game is real-time, but it's based on quick tactical action and unit
       management. Battles progress quickly and constantly; in fact, they
       never let up. There is no stop in the action because there is no
       waiting for resources to be collected and converted into weaponry.
       Players can join or leave  multiplayer games at any time.
